VN Ren'Py Ripples [v0.7.0 Public] [Jestur]

[Bill Temple]

I was expecting a bit more femdom from Riley, but it is what it is.

There was also that shy girl, Alyssa with the tentacle? manga videos/games in her room, and end up quite normal lol

And of course the whole story with the time travel. Very good idea.

Well color me surprised... You seem sentient and everything! Two very generic comments within 8 minutes of signing up made my bot-detection-sense tingle. Guess I've been reading the youtube comments too much lately. My sincerest apologies for the misidentification.
Anyway, glad you're enjoying the game. You picked a good time to join the party, as we're staring down the barrel of another update drop aaaanny day now.
Personally, I think the amount of femdom out of Riley was just right, but I could see how enthusiasts might be left wanting. Regarding Alyssa, I'm hoping you're wrong about her being quite normal. Under Riley's expert tutelage, I think MC can help that shy school girl get her freak flag flying high. Just like they say: Geek in the streets. Freak in the sheets.

So 40 out of 121 animations went into a single scene. That gotta be a God tier scene.

Wonder who's the lucky girl.

 

[vsvsx92]

Wonder who's the lucky girl.

Jenny? Perhaps (that's my wild guess at least).

 

[Antonio Montana]

Almost everything points to it probably being Scarlett.
Jester's profile pic in Discord is her, a lot of previews showed Scarlett and she was nearly always portrayed in the images that included the progression rates.
There was also a little foreshadowing in episode 5.

No worries.
My English is not my first language and me personally not a big fan of too much writing.
Recently discovered that Adult Visual novels and already have almost 60 games, having quite a bit free time helps.
And yes, everyone has different tastes, me just being a bit more hardcore )

and to be not off topic, probably will wait for the updates and will play the game (Ripples) from the scratch, I really like the story

Not sure Why ChatGPT will post here, but I guess it is a valid argument

I pretty like Scartlet. I hope it's her too. But i think it might be too fast to bed. Because in progress pic, she's wearing the same shirt with pic 2 with mc and pic 3 with Darci(maybe) in 0.5, i believe mc and Darci might hang around with Scarlet but might not have more fun till next time comming back 1999.
I think Darci would be the lucky girl.

Unlikely since the Patreon no incest rule.

Why does this game look insanely good?
Which graphics was it made in?

Honey Select 1.

Yeah, in my opinion, this game looks good in spite of being made in Honey Select 1. There's clearly been a serious amount of modding and/or post-work done.

Not sure how much of this will be considered spoilers but figured better safe than sorry

Spoiler: Just my thoughts on who I would like to see more of but for sure some spoilers so more cautious than anything

I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend as little as there is left and I wish the character you all love the most gets a lot of screen time as well

Yes but... it's also probably why updates are so slow. Can't even begin to fathom the amount of work the dev is doing to stretch HS1 beyond it's default capabilities and arrive at this level of animation. It's probably a similar situation to AHITR where honestly they should just switch to using Daze or something like that, but they are so used to their existing workflow that the thought is terrifying.

 

[BlenderGuy]

Ripples and Pale C really make Honey Select 1 look extremely capable.
Some of the animation in Ripples was truly amazing.

 

[Westinaction]

I know nothing abut animation, is there a reason one wouldn't just upgrade to Honey Select 2?

 

[Fantasy Catharsis]

Graphical fidelity I'd imagine, I don't mind how the game looks as is and from what games I've played that are HS2-based I don't think the models would benefit from the visual change. IMO.

 

[Dorfnutter]

You can't directly port HS1 models to HS2, for one. Which means dev will have to recreate all of his existing models from scratch. Lighting also works a bit differently in HS2 iirc, so dev will have to relearn that. Finally, not every HS1 map/asset used for the game has a port in HS2, so certain areas/items will have to be written out of the story until they get ported (which takes time) or dev finds a substitute.

TL;DR, switch is basically too much work that he might as well save it for the next game.
